Thanks everyone - think I've identified my plant now the good old fashioned way from a book. Looks like helichrysum sanguineum, not seen that one before. Moved in last October so having fun seeing what is appearing in the garden.

I have a clump of plants in the garden and I don't know what they are. The leaves are about 5 inch long and quite narrow with fine hairs. The stems are getting to about 15 inches and also have fine hairs covering the stem. The flower head is small with clusters of very dark buds which appear to open in the sun and close when its dusk. They are red-orange in shade. Any clues please?
